Exotic Plants – A Botanical Tour of the Tropical Aquarium
Join the ‘Green Exotics’ botanical tour at Hagenbeck Tropical Aquarium on the last Friday of every month. Discover what makes Hagenbeck’s plants so special and why the tropical gardeners have just as much love for their charges as the animal keepers do.
What does desert sand from the Sahara have to do with the tropical rainforest? Why do plants from Africa look completely different to those from the Americas? And which fruits from a houseplant taste of banana and pineapple? Discover fascinating facts about the flora at Hagenbeck and join our tropical gardener on an expedition past various species of palm, fern and orchid, as well as a black olive tree.
